EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Milk-man with his donkey in Genoa" transports us back to the early 1900s in Italy. The image captures a slice of everyday life as an itinerant milk vendor goes about his trade on the streets of Genoa. In this bustling scene, we see a hardworking man dressed in popular clothing of the time. He wears a hat that shields him from the sun's rays while he navigates through the city with his trusty donkey by his side. The basket filled with straw atop the donkey's back suggests that it is used to transport milk bottles or other dairy products. The composition beautifully portrays not only human activity but also highlights elements of farming and country life. The presence of the donkey reminds us of how essential animals were for transportation and labor during this era. Brogi, the photographer behind this remarkable print, skillfully captures both subject and setting. His attention to detail allows us to appreciate not only the main characters but also provides glimpses into daily life in Genoa at that time. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of our connection to history and how much has changed since then. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and adaptability throughout generations. This photograph is more than just an object; it is a window into another world—a moment captured forever by Brogi's lens—an invaluable piece of anthropological documentation showcasing European culture at its core.
